Daily Schedule Outline

The days are short in winter, but this has plenty of benefits. Because the sun is low in the sky all day it means we have beautiful light lasting all day and it's possible to make great photos even at mid day.

Sunrise is late at 9am allowing for more time in bed while sunset is early at 4:50pm, meaning we'll be back at our hotel in time for dinner and some well earned time off in the evenings.
